Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

"you you……"

Conan opened his mouth slightly, but couldn't say anything for a long time.

On the other side, Ai Haibara also suddenly looked up at Qi Ming, her face full of shock.

Not buddy!

What are you doing?!

I know you're crazy, but do you have to be so oblivious as to reveal your identity like this?

"You, you are... Madeira?"

Conan repeated the words haltingly, sounding like a broken record.

"You...you don't know?"

Qi Ming was also taken there by Conan and gave a stammering response.

"You were there when we first met, weren't you? I was chatting so intimately with them, how could you not know?"

"And after I've caused so many major incidents right in front of you, can't you at least connect me to the organization?"

"me……"

Isn't it obvious why I don't know your identity?

Not to mention that you're acting crazy all day long, and the things you're thinking are completely unpredictable.

The key issue is that your temperament doesn't match those people at all!

A Siberian Husky was mixed in with a group of German Shepherds.

No… Vodka looked pretty silly today too.

Conan was shocked, but looking at Qi Ming's smiling face, he felt a surge of anger rising within him.

So this guy was the culprit who turned himself into this!

Hmph, the girlfriend works in the pharmaceutical industry, and the boyfriend is the one who feeds people drugs. What a perfect match, you two! Pah!

Qi Ming had no idea what Conan was thinking.

If Conan had known, perhaps he wouldn't have known what Qi Ming was planning to do.

Qi Ming, feeling exasperated, squatted down and patted Conan's head.

"Dude... you've only gotten this far?"

Now he could be completely certain.

This detective doesn't seem to be very bright. He's been feigning death for so long, yet he hasn't gotten a single clue about the organization, which is why the main quest can't be triggered.

Qi Ming pointed to the road behind him.

"Should I call Lao Qin and you go and check it out?"

"Maybe we can get some intelligence to cause some disruption to our organization?"

Conan admits he's starting to feel something for her.

If he hadn't experienced fear yesterday, he really would have agreed.

"No." Conan shook his head.

"why are you not going?"

"Because I'm afraid."

"Why are you afraid?"

"Fear is fear."

"..."

Ai Haibara squinted at the two people in front of her.

are you crazy!

However, Ai Haibara also gleaned a lot of information from their conversation.

So what exactly did Qi Ming do behind her back?

"Fine, I'll help you out. I'll call you next time the organization needs to go on a mission, remember to come."

Then Qi Ming pulled out a red flip phone from somewhere, entered a number on it, and tossed it to Conan.

This kid's efficiency is really bad; looks like I'll have to step in and help him out.

However, he did have his own mission to perform.

What kind of expression will the detective have when he finds that he can't do anything?

Qi Ming smiled with interest.

Therefore, when playing games, you should always adopt the perspective of the villain.

This righteous protagonist is so frustrated every day.

"Isn't this phone mine?"

Conan took the phone and looked at Qi Ming with some surprise.

When did he take my phone?

"How did you take it? You just took it like that?"

Qi Ming smiled, clenched his fists in front of him, and then slowly opened them.

In his hand he held a red bow tie and a white watch.

Nani?

Conan took his equipment from Qi Ming in surprise.

That doesn't make sense. I've been keeping my eyes on Qi Ming the whole time. When did he make a move?

"Alright, that's enough playing. See you at the next Emperor's Cup. Ai, let's go, lest this brat trigger random events."

Qi Ming got up, stretched, and turned to leave with Ai Haibara.

Conan watched the two figures, one big and one small, walk away and asked his last question.

"Why, why didn't you reveal my identity to them?"

Qi Ming turned around and smiled.

"Because there's no fun if you die."

"Didn't I make it very clear to you last time? You're the protagonist in this game."

Without lingering, the two disappeared into the crowd.

……

Ai Haibara followed beside Qi Ming, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

Given the current situation, she should actually ask Qi Ming who Gin and Vodka are, and what the meaning of what they said to Conan was.

After all, this is a normal reaction for a child.

But she touched the glasses she was still wearing and didn't say those words aloud.

"What are you doing? Hold your brother's hand tightly, okay? What if you get kidnapped by human traffickers? Our little sister is so cute."

Qi Ming's voice came from beside her. Ai Haibara looked at his outstretched hand, blushed, and took it.

"Thank you."

Clearing her mind of all thoughts, Ai Haibara made up her mind.

I'll reveal my true identity to Qi Ming after this New Year.

Instead of engaging in such one-sided suspicions about Qi Ming, it's better to face everything head-on.

She can accept whatever the outcome may be.

"The day after tomorrow should be New Year's Day."

Qi Ming, unaware of Ai Haibara's thoughts, checked the time and asked her:

"So, what are your plans for tomorrow?"

Ai Haibara hesitated and shook her head.

For her, who had always stayed within the organization, New Year's Day and other holidays were no different from any other day.

She didn't know what to do.

"No ideas? Impossible! Tomorrow is New Year's Day. How could a kid like you not have any ideas?"

"...So, brother, what are your thoughts?"

Qi Ming said, feigning excitement.

"What did you do on New Year's Eve? It's the most important day of the year!"

"For example, things like playing video games for a year, watching movies and masturbating... cough cough, something like that!"

Hehe, how boring.

Ai Haibara gave Qi Ming a reproachful look.

My body is indeed that of a child, but why do I feel that your mind is more like a child than mine?

"Are you talking about jumping on the spot at New Year's Eve and then telling your friends that you weren't on Earth during the New Year?"

Ai Haibara casually remarked.

Not on Earth?

Qi Ming's eyes lit up when he heard Ai Haibara's words.

"Wow, you're really good at thinking things through! Let's do it that way!"

"……what?"

Seeing Qi Ming's excited expression, Ai Haibara was a little confused.

Is this guy really that childish?

On New Year's Eve, did you pull yourself up and jump on the spot?

Qi Ming looked up at the sky.

"Ai, life is more than just the present hardships; our goal is the stars and the sea."

Ai Haibara blinks her eyes cutely.

I have a bad feeling about this.

What are you planning to do tomorrow?!
